Chemical contamination can be a risk to human life and the wider environment. The priority of GDS is to support local authorities in decontaminating and reinstating areas.

The aim of this competition is to address 2 challenges:

how best to decontaminate building materials

how to develop new or improved simulants that mimic how chemicals react on common building surfaces

Innovate UK will run this competition through SBRI, the Small Business Research Initiative. We will offer businesses with the most promising solution a government contract to test and prove their innovation.
